The son of NBA legend Isiah Thomas, Zeke Thomas, appeared on Good Morning America this week and revealed that he was raped twice by other men.

He is currently the star of a PSA released by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

“At first I didn’t realize what had happened, what had transpired,” he said on GMA. “I knew that it was wrong, I knew that I did not want it. I did not seek it out. I hadn’t let my family know until much later that this had happened. It was definitely hard for them to hear, and even more hard for them to hear that it happened again.”

He continued: “I want to give the voiceless a voice. The healing really begins with the voice. The healing begins with, ‘This happened to me. I can get through it.’” He later added: “Being gay, being African-American, it’s definitely something that I never imagined would happen to me.”
